1. Geno Smith - Love Geno and would love to see him in KC next year. If we bypass him in the 1st I would take Glennon in the 2nd (if available)

2. Chris Jones - Never heard of him. Would much rather take Jordan Poyer here. CB is a big need as well with the loss of Carr.

3. Sanders Cummings - Again never heard of him. Markus Wheaton would be be a good pick if we lose Bowe. Nico Johnson would be a really good pick to add to our LB corp.

4. DJ Swearinger - We need safety help and every time I have watch DJ I have come away impressed. Could pick here in the 4th.

5. Dan Quessenberry - Again never heard of him. OL depth could always be added no doubt. I however would look to Michael Buchanon or Chris Gragg here.

6. Michael Williams - We do need to add a TE. Good pick.

7. Steve Greer - Never heard of him. Michael Mauti or Ryan Nassib (who won't be here) would be better.

Overall I am disappointed in this mock. I think you overrate several players and underrate several more. I havent heard of half of the prospects you gave us, but that doesn't mean they aren't good or won't be drafted that high, just means I don't know much. I just would have gone in a much different direction.

Not a bad Steelers draft. If the Steelers bail on Ta'amu then a NT is needed desperately and Jenkins certainly fits the bill. Getting his teammate Williams isn't bad, maybe a little high, but they do need youth at that position. I might go with fellow teammate and ballhawk Rambo but he has character concerns that worry me a little. I really like Johnson in the third. Robinson in the fourth is interesting but if the Steelers go WR I rather have them get a big one instead. Robinson is in the same physical mold of Brown and Sanders._________________

You seem to have either forgotten DJ Fluker in this entire draft. Interesting

Fluker is a Junior and I think he stays in school. I may be wrong, but until he declares, I won't be using him._________________"People say you should always do the right thing, but sometimes there is no right thing. And then, you just have to pick the sin you can live with." -Ig Perrish

Mingo is a Junior and has not had the season many had predicted. He would be best served to stay in school.

The Steelers did bail on Ta'amu. They released him Nov. 12._________________"People say you should always do the right thing, but sometimes there is no right thing. And then, you just have to pick the sin you can live with." -Ig Perrish

we need more OL instead of WR imo

I gave you an OT and OG. You want more O-Line?_________________"People say you should always do the right thing, but sometimes there is no right thing. And then, you just have to pick the sin you can live with." -Ig Perrish

Okay positionally, but would prefer a smaller UT pass-rusher. Dion Jordan is much better value here if on the board - although I suspect he'll have a Chandler Jones like surge in stock value.

Nice pick, he's really hitting some form again and he's a playmaker.

94. New England- Quinton Patton, WR, La. Tech

Kind of torn on this one, because he's one of my favourite receivers and has that bit of 'can do everything' the Pats will like. However, not convinced it's a need unless Welker walks. Plus we haven't hit on a receiver in the draft forever.

Heck; if it unfolded like THIS, give the Bills E.J. Manuel in the 2nd, and Landry Jones in the 4th. Cut Thigpen immediately, give Fitzpatrick one more year to train the young guys up, then see what we got._________________Why have a signature?
